Staff spark off each other to do their best work when the floor is open to everyone, the marketing and advertising agency WAA Chosen has found. Its open and collaborative culture invites big ideas, not big egos, and has helped to build the business in Sutton Coldfield from a one-man band into a leading independent player over the past 35 years.

WAA Chosen is proud to have gained Investors in People Status in 1998, one of the first marketing communications agencies in the UK to win the accreditation, and achieved Gold status in 2019. Members of the senior management team, under the founding CEO, Andrew Wilson, provide exceptional role models, demonstrating the values of drive, perseverance, zest, curiosity, adaptability and commerciality.

WAA Chosen regularly celebrates and rewards the efforts of its talented workers beyond its bonus scheme. The Wolf of the Week award commends commercial prowess and colleagues receive Champagne for a promotion or a voucher for a great contribution. In the past year the company has got together online at the end of the week for a showcase of the best creative work, a quiz and a drink. The Thursday lunch club is a chance to spend time together without a focus on work.
